I have just took my car to a garage and asked to get my traking done and they have told me that can not do anything with it because the suspension is to stiff because it is on coilovers?

can you do it your self anyone no? and how?

depends..if you went for a full alignment check including camber angles then it might be an issue, as your ride height will affect that but then adjustable parts come into it. without guages it wont be accurate..its easier to pay someone to do it trust me . you might still wear tyres out on the inside edge but thats a camber issue due to your (likely) selected ride height of slammed but it is NOT a tracking issue.

if it was for a boggo tracking check then take it to another branch of monkey fit, the stiffness of your suspension has nothing to do with it.

hope that helps

Tracking doesn't really have anything to do with the stiffness of suspension, it is basically just adjusting the track rod ends to make the wheels toe in or out. Take it somewhere else if they say they cant (or more like "wont") do it

I took it some where else and i got it done

but.......... i did a corner fast and some thing sliped and its shaged again so i took it back they done it again but now its back out lol they have checked the joints etc and they all good so going back weekend again but y it do it all time?

my 50p bet goes on fucked wishbones.... either the bushes are perished or split...(check them in a loaded state i.e on the floor via a pit..or a 4 post lift)..or the ball joints are going home.tracking will only become out of adjustment for a couple of reasons. giving kerbs some love or big pot holes..that usually wanks wheels aswell or somethings buggered and its not right in the first place. you didnt say which ones were checked but the wishbones are a rubbish design. last less than 5 mins on a lowered car..and even less if you pedal it round corners like a go kart!, ive had ripped bushes from a couple of emergency stops (escos front brakes loved doing that to them!) and a squeaky balljoint which was super irritating. phils replaced that many pairs he wishes he got airmiles for them! pattern parts are 20 odd quid a side. 3 bolts and a bit of elbow grease and youll be sorted.

and just to check. you are testing it on a flat floor and not a road which is either tramlined or has a visible camber..they all camber to the left to allow rainwater to run off but some are worse than others....(dont laugh its been done before!)

oh yeah..if its just your steering wheel that wont sit straight check for play in the steering column U/J..never know.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for that it was a big help
